Against a background where jobs are disappearing and the future of print media looks bleak, CSPAN’s founder Brian Lamb had a bold prediction for our wide-eyed group: the future will be competitive. For about an hour and a half, Lamb conducted an unorthodox but entertaining interview in which he brought members of the audience  up for a question and answer session. Topics ranged from facebook to CSPAN to Stephen Colbert, and Lamb delivered the laughs and anecdotes one after the other.

It will be very hard for any of the speakers to top that in my book. If Mr. Lamb had a TV show, I would watch it any day of the week. His sly sense of humor took the nervous edge off the crowd and made the time enjoyable. I can only hope that the rest of the speakers are as engaging and entertaining as Lamb.

P.S. Who decided to have wake-up call at 5:30? Honestly…
